Life Without Praising

'What is special in this world?
I'm tired of it!'
 I often say within
'Beautiful and full of merriment'
I never realized.

I got a phone call from a friend 
to meet
 at club, zealous 
to have the zest of the day
I dashed in as object
being controlling by air, to change my cloth

Heaven sent, the heavens opened
I sat upon a settee, waiting for the rain to stop

Sea rise a mountain, flood waters ubiquitous
Floor is swallowing houses
it has heist many properties
Like-wise peoples have wounded, 
Stream dripped down my cheek
A traumatic experience this is!, 
My heart thudded, nearly separated from chest
I screamed loudly

'Ha! It is a dream,' I was on the settee
Waiting for rain to cut off
Ho! Life without praising the lord is an empty life

Too much concern for the flesh is a human weakness, I agree. It should be all about love. Thanks for reading my poem, Afolabi. Love, daver
